Quote:Attorney General Eric Holder's plans to sit down with media representatives to discuss guidelines for handling investigations into leaks to the news media have run into trouble.

The Associated Press issued a statement Wednesday objecting to plans for the meetings to be off the record. "If it is not on the record, AP will not attend and instead will offer our views on how the regulations should be updated in an open letter," said Erin Madigan White, the AP's media relations manager.

The New York Times is taking the same position. "It isn't appropriate for us to attend an off-the-record meeting with the attorney general," executive editor Jill Abramson said in a statement.

Like the New York Times and the Associated Press, CNN will decline the invitation for an off-the-record meeting. A CNN spokesperson says if the meeting with the attorney general is on the record, CNN would plan to participate.

The Huffington Post's Washington bureau chief, Ryan Grim, also said he will not attend unless the meeting is on the record. "A conversation specifically about the freedom of the press should be an open one. We have a responsibility not to betray that," Grim told CNN.

From all accounts, he's guilty of perjury. After all that's gone on between him and the media, I think we can start waving buh bye soon. Besides, why would the press meet off the record with someone who swore under oath he doesn't know anything about anything?
This admins better days are behind them and this appears to only be getting worse. Going to be a very long hot summer.

One perp down, but that doesn't negate the fact they turned lap dogs into dragons by their arrogance, short sightedness and abusive policy.
They are under the MSM microscope and the scandals are coming "fast and furious"
